Transport and deployment of paratroopers

With its STOL capability and rectangular fuselage cross-section, the Do228 is ideal for transporting and deploying paratroopers. In this configuration, it can carry 21 paratroopers and 1 jumpmaster. Under civil certification, capacity is limited to 19 paratroopers. The layout can be easily converted to the troop transport version by removing the anchor cable and jump master equipment. The cabin layout for paratroopers features side-mounted, fold-up troop seats, a roll door, anchor cables, and side wall protection, among other features. An access ladder allows paratroopers to easily board the Do228.
